Deaf Addiction Services At Maryland

Located in Baltimore, Maryland, Deaf Addiction Services at Maryland provides behavioral health and addiction recovery services for deaf and hard-of-hearing adults. It operates as a clinic under the University of Maryland Medical Center, with services that include ambulatory medical detox, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), outpatient treatment, and aftercare services, including specialized services for clients with co-occurring conditions. Mobile counseling is available for clients who live far from the Baltimore location.

Their MAT services help clients safely detox from alcohol, opioids, and other drugs while under medical supervision. To ease the physical pain of withdrawal, mitigate cravings, and reduce relapse risk, providers can administer FDA-approved medications, including methadone and buprenorphine. Clients requiring ambulatory medical detox services attend treatment at the Medical Center’s Psychiatric Urgent Care unit.

Staff take a whole-client approach to recovery, offering outpatient services in conjunction with MAT to address the mental and emotional sides of addiction, including any underlying mental health conditions that may be present for dual-diagnosis clients. Available treatment options include individual and group counseling, gender-specific peer support groups, addiction education, psychiatric services, anger management courses, relapse-prevention training, and interpreted 12 Step meetings.
